The Community Fund Drive
Detroit Jews must support the Commu-
nity Fund drive most liberally. We are
confident that they will.
The important role played by Jewish
leaders in this city-wide fund-raising ef-
fort is occasioned not only by the fact that
Jewish agencies are included in the fund's
budget, but also because an obligation to
agencies that are not strictly Jewish but
which serve the public good must be sup-
ported. We would not be discharging out
duties as Jews and as citizens if we failed
to give wholehearted support to this fund.
But the direct appeal does exist. Some
of the most important Jewish social serv-
ice and educational and recreatonal agen-
cies derive their sole support from the
Community Fund. The North End Clinic,
the Jewish Children's Home, the Jewish
Community Center, the Hebrew Free Loan
Association, the Jewish Child Placement
Bureau and the Fresh Air Camp—these
are causes that are dear to the heart of
every Jew. If they are to continue to
function without hindrance, the Commu-
nity Fund must be given the unstinted sup-
port of our people.
The Polish Outrages
Poland has at last yielded completely to
the Nazis. The land where more than 3,-
D00,000 of our people reside was a good
teacher to the Hitlerites in showing an ex-
ample for the boycotting of the Jewish
merchants, but it now also proves a good
pupil. It has borrowed from the Nazis the
shameful plan of setting aside special
tenches for Jewish students, and now our
people's humiliation in Poland is complete.
Our young men and women refuse to
iubmit to this humiliation. A "stand-up
itrike" has been declared, and there will
sot be the ready yielding to discriminating
lecrees that the Poles are instituting
n their sadistic desires to suppress an im-
)ortant part of the population of the land
hey fought for and lived for, and where
hey have a history that dates back 1,200
'ears.
The Polish Jews can be depended upon
o fight their battle for just rights with
lignity and with honor. But what about
he Jews outside of Poland, especially
hose in the United States? Are we to
it back idly and wait for messianic and
miraculous occurrences to save our fellow
ews from complete despair and destruc-
ion?
We know the answer. The shy ones—
he advocates of the hush-hush policy-
vill say that it is useless to protest, that
iublic indignation meetings are futile.
I evertheless our self-respect demands that
omething be done.
Something must be done! If we fail, we
hall at least have tried. We dare not sit
omplacently in our secure surroundings
nd ignore that which is happening in
'oland.
We call upon the national organizations
nd upon the important defensive move-
lents in this city to act at once. The
Torld must hear our protest against the
'olish outrages!
What About Salomon Statue?
From time to time the agitation is re-
ived for the erection of a statue perpetu-
ting the memory of Haym Salomon, fin-
ncier of the American Revolution. Dur-
ig recent months, rumors have also been
urrent that Paul Muni is to be featured
I a film describing the activities of the
an who contributed so much to, and sac-
ificed his all for,-the cause of American
berty.
But thus far nothing tangible has mater-
ilized. Assimilationists appear frighten-
d by the thought that a Jewish hero may
b e honored, and as long as Jews them-
8 elves do not press the issue, no one else
ill. It is true that a great American,
C harles Edward Russell, wrote a mam-
loth book which is a great tribute to
:aym Salomon, but his efforts will be
witless unless Jews will press the issue.
We are moved to revive the issue re-

American Jewish Year Book
Pictures World Situation
The largest volume of the American Jewish
Year Book ever published, which has just been
released by the Jewish Publication Society, is re-
plete with information of vital and timely im-
portance. The accuracy and painstaking care which
have always characterized its predecessors will
secure for this volume an important place on the
shelves of all workers in communal life, as well
as of the intelligent layman who may desire in-
formation on the current problems that beset the
Jews of this and other lands.
Harry Schneiderman, the assistant secretary of
the American Jewish Committee which issues this
book jointly with the Jewish Publication Society
of America, contributes the "Review of the year
5697," which occupies 385 pages. Mr. Schneider-
man points out that Jews in this country are again
interesting themselves more in domestic than in
foreign problems, and ascribes this to the following
three factors:
lint, the feeling that the Jewleh elluallo ■ la for-
eign lands has become more or less stabilised, albeit
on • very low Pam.; second, the general conviction
that the community's ageeeles for overuse relief and
reconstruction have become geared to the changed

In Poland, Mr. Schneiderman declares, it be-
came clearer during the past year that many Poles,
though not affiliated with outspoken anti-Jewish
groups, were nevertheless advocating the exclus-
ion of Jews from all political, economic and so-
cial spheres and the emigration of Polish Jewry
as • body. "Those who advocate this program,"
he states, "repudiate violence ac not consonant with
Polish cultural traditions, but they overlook the
fact that their mere espousal of this program is a
direct encouragement to violence."
A most important appendix to the "Review of
the Year' is the summary of the report of the
British Royal Commission for Palestine, which
contains the vital and leading features of this
momental document.
Among the special articles included in this vol-
ume is an exhaustive study of "Jewish Commu-
nity Organization in the United States" by Dr.
Maurice J. Karpf, director of the Graduate School
for Jewish Social Work, part of which was read
by him before the second international confer-
ence on Jewish social work held in London in the
summer of 1936, over which Dr. Karpf presided.
The wealth of statistical data which the article
contains does not in any way detract from the
absorbing interest which it is certain to evoke
on the part of the reader. Beginning with • sur-
vey of the Jewish population in America, the au-
thor deals with such topics, as the economic dis-
tribution, the relation between Jews and non-
Jews, religious and educational institutions, phil-
anthropic agencies of all kinds, adult education
and recreational work and many other phases
of Jewish life in the present time. The data are
not merely given but are also evaluated and the
summary in the last champter presents a coordinat-
ed picture of the trend of Jewish endeavor which
is most illuminating, even though not always most
reassuring. The notes in the back of the article
are in the main bibliographical and indicate the
wealth of material that is now in existence re-
garding the various tendencies in American Jew-
ish life.
The Jewish Welfare Board celebrated the 20th
anniversary of its existence during the past year
and there is no other person more qualified to
write a history of this important organization than
Dr. Cyrus Adler, who was instrumental in its for-
mation and stood guard over it throughout all
the years of its existence. Dr. Adler, in his ar-
ticle "The Jewish Welfare Board-20 Years Old,"
tells the story of the establishment of this agency

Two messages were addressed to the Jewish
National Fund convention over the wires and ether
waves: one over the long-distance telephone from
New Haven, Conn., by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the
other by Dr. Chains Weizmann, over the radio
from London. Dr. Wise, who has a powerful
voice, could be heard with difficulty. Dr. Weis-
mann, who has a poor speaking voice under the
best circumstances, was heard with satisfaction
by the vast assembly at Hotel Statler in Detroit
and in Jewish homes throughout the country.
This contrast ought to be a lesson to Jews to
abandon the idea of sponsoring telephonic ad-
dresses at public functions. They don't work and
in the long run are pure vanity.
•
A New Type of Convention
The National Palestine Land Redemption Con-
ference of the Jewish National Fund, at which
Detroit was privileged to act as host, initiated a
new type of conclave. instead of working through
committees, as conventions usually do, the dele-
gates were divided into several round table dis-
cussion groups to exchange ideas and to make
decisions on the future work of the fund. It was
an excellent idea, and will undoubtedly establish
a precedent in planning conventions—provided
the mingling of luncheons with serious discussion
is abandoned. You just can't mix food with ser-
ioua reasoning when a limited time is allotted to
a luncheon meeting. If convention planners will
set aside complete sessions for round table discus-
sions by delegates they will find that much more
will be achieved than by gab feats into which most
conferences usually degenerate—especially when
the leadership is as gifted as that possessed by
the Zionist movement.
•
A Blunder in Lipsky's Masterful Address
Louis Lipsky delivered a masterful address at
the convention. We share the views of those who
say that neither he nor Abraham Goldberg had
the right to wax so eloquent over the partition
schemes at a convention of the Jewish National
Fund at which all party lines must be obliterated.
But having discussed the new Jewish state scheme,
Mr. Lipsky, otherwise logical and convincing,
vitiated his own opinions by injecting a note of
lack of faith. ?ionista usually do not do that.
Lipsky did. He spoke of achieving the ideal of
the Jewish state, "rather than see the temporary
wind-up of the Zionist effort and the collapse of
what we have built in Palestine." The fact of
the matter is that if half of the Jewish portion
of Palestine were wiped out their.- the movement
would nevertheless go on. After every destruction
a group of zealots was always on hand to begin
anew. The spirit of the movement does not die,
even the material side has its setbacks. Zionism
did not start with Herzl and does not end with
Lipsky. It started with the prophecy that "Zion
shall be redeemed with justice" and probably will
never end because there will undoubtedly always
be need of building a home for oppressed and home-
less Jews—unless the millenium arrives. It is a
pity that an otherwise great address by one of the
moat brilliant Zionist leaders should have been
marred a bit by this bit of inconsistency.
•
Robes, Roosevelt, Black
What a pity that partisanship mars unbiased
reasoning in issues affecting our judiciary. We
believe that the issue surrounding Justice Hugo
L. Black will be closed definitely in a very short
time . But in the meantime there is no end to the
attack leveled not only against the new Supreme
Court Justice but also against the President. Some
partisans do not even stop short of comparing
Black with Goering, and they are unreasonable
enough to paint the former Senator and the pres-
ent jurist as the symbol of bigotry and race hatred.
As a matter of fact there is nothing in his record
to prove such charges. The worst that can be
said about him is that he had affiliations. The best
that Is proved by his record is that he hes no
prejudices. The widow of the Jewish friend to
whom Justice Black referred in his radio address
Paid him a splendid tribute. Mrs. Herman B. Beck
said: "I have never known a finer, kinder man in
all my life. I have never known Justice Black to
speak an unkind word during the 40 years I have
known him. He has never shown to the slightest
degree any racial or religious intolerance."
But those who prolong the discussion on Black
—(ass far as we are concerned the issue is ended
with this column)—take delight in dressing him
in triple-K gowns and in imposing such a hooded
figure in imaginary photographs of the Supreme
Court. It is hardly fair to do this to a man who
disavows any connections with this movement, who
has a Jew, a Catholic and a Negro on his staff;
who is an avowed liberal; who has never spoken
a hateful word about any race or creed; who, we
hope, will live down honorably his earlier associa-
tions with the Klan; who has exposed the Senti-
nels of the Republic, arch anti-Semites.
To clarify the position of a man like Justice
Black who apparently was a "joiner" all his life,
it is well to refer to an incident quoted recently

son of an Austrian Jewish immigrant, he

ment estimated there were 376,-
000 Jews in Palestine on the eve
of Rosh Hashonah a year ago, but
it would be safe to assume a mini-
mum of 400,000 at that time.
The precise calculation of the
government office of statistics on
population movement shows that
there was a Jewish net increase
of 12,604 (compared with 14,000
non-Jews) in the first half of
6697; but during the subsequent
six months, departures were al-
most balanced vis-a-vis the natural
Increase and immigration. The ad-
ditional Jewish population during
5697 therefore, should be assessed
at 15,000, as compared with the
25,000 or more increase of the
non-Jewish population.

Nevertheless, 5697 was broader
in the scope of its land purchases
as compared with the previous
year. From Oct, 1, 1936, to Sept.
5, 1937 (roughly one year accord-
ing to the Jewish calendar), there
were 20,000 dunams acquired as
compared with 16,000 dunams in
5696. The principal purchases
were effected by the Jewish Na-
tional Fund. Private initiative
was somewhat reluctant owing to
the external political conditions.

their whole length, in the Nazi
colors with a large black swastika
staring at you from the center of

road Germany is building, took us
first to the Hofbrau am Platzl.
This world famous beer hall,
where all the beer its brewery
makes is consumed on the prem-
ises, had the flavor of something
old and historic, Groups of men in
Bavarian costume were sitting
about silently smoking long pipes.
The beer deserved its reputation,
although the price was a bit steep,
even for an American. It was the
evening of their weekly band con-
cert, but judging by the few pa-
trons present, It had by mutual
consent, been called off. We soon
wearied of the silence and of prais-
ing of the beer. Ah the Weise

as we left.
